Verse:
By the rivers of [G]Babylon
Where he sat down
And there he [D]went
When he remembered [G]Zion
Over the wicked carry us away captivity
[C]Required from us this [G]song
How can we sing King Alfa's song in a [D]strange [G]land
So let the words of our [D]mouth and the medi[G]tation of our [D]heart
Be ac[G]ceptable in thy [D]sight
Over I [G]
